SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
 – maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
 – Only use replacement bars and chains specied 
by Stanley  Hydraulic Tools. Chains  must meet 
the  requirements  of ANSI  B175.1  for  low  kick-
back performance.
•  Always be well rested and mentally alert before op-
erating the chain saw.
•  Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw 
when  starting  or  cutting  with  the  chain  saw.  Keep 
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
•  Do not starting  cutting until  you have a clear  work 
area,  secure  footing  and  a  planned  escape  path 
from a falling tree.
•  Carry the saw with the unit de-energized and the bar 
and chain to the rear of your body.
•  Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush 
and saplings. Twigs  may  catch the  saw chain  and 
be whipped toward the operator or pull the operator 
off balance.
•  When cutting  a limb that is under tension, be alert 
for springback  so that  you  will not  be struck when 
the tension on the limb is released.
•  Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil.
•  Do not operate a chain saw  while  in a  tree  unless 
you have been specially trained to do so.
•  When using tools near energized transmission lines, 
be sure to use only hoses labeled and certied non-
conductive.
•  Turn off the power unit or move the hydraulic control 
valve to neutral before setting the saw down.
•  Use  a  guide  bar  scabbard  when  transporting  the 
saw.
•  Know  the  location  of  buried  or  covered  electrical 
services before starting work.
•  To  avoid  personal injury or equipment  damage,  all 
tool repair, maintenance  and service  must only be 
performed  by  authorized  and  properly  trained  per-
sonnel.
